Do they really think they can just replace people with ai and it would hurt the quality or do they just not care about the quality? Ai reminds me of cgi where you can tell its not real regardless of how good it gets, it's in the uncanny valley for sure

No but they don't call them road pirates for nothing

About 6 usually but I have nights where I get more

Really don't understand the question...how do you go on an 'un-intentional' date?

Isn't that like some kinda sexual Miscount or something.

I went on an unintentional date once, asked a friend out for dinner and a wine tasting (at my job) assuming she'd know its just hanging out like usual but she dressed up and thought it was a date and was leaning into me the whole time. Me being oblivious didn't pick up that she thought it was a date but my coworkers all thought it was, I thought it was funny that they thought that and brought it up to her and she said it was a date. So we went on one more date but it didn't go anywhere after that.

That's just an oddly shaped wheel

Fuck weapons do this the old way just fight with your body. Yet somehow someone will complain about THAT too.

Imagine if we got rid of guns and bombs and went back to fighting with swords, spears, axes, bows, etc.

Generally against but if another country starts using them against you I don't have a problem with you giving them a taste of their own medicine

Why don't cops get that, unless you are actively being attacked, you don't shoot your fucking gun, God damn

Well yeah, is that supposed to be a hot take?

Not only was Futurama worse than the simpsons, but there's a direct correlation between the start of Futurama and the downfall of the simpsons

Same with American dad and family guy

American Dad >>>> family guy too

Whatever you want it to be, do you think Tom Brady's inherent purpose was to play football? No, he just made it his purpose.

Because for prices to go down we'd have to have slave labor.
Capitalism doesn't actually function unless there's someone at the very bottom. That makes no money at all.

They were lower before... we don't need slave labor, just make the corporations cut the price gouging

Smithers would be a good one, has a solid job and doesn't get into any wacky shenanigans for me to get pulled into

Let's be real: We couldn't handle it now either.

I play Skyrim still so that's just untrue

Remember back in the 90s when every page took at least a minute to load? Kids couldn't handles what we thought was normal

So if a man is strong and protective, that makes him masculine, but if anyone else is strong and protective, then it's just a beneficial trait with no gender qualifier attached to it?

It's just a woman with a masculine trait that may or may not also be more feminine overall

adjl posted...

And is it not equally beneficial for a woman to be a strong protector or a man to be a comforter/caretaker?

Note that I'm not suggesting the inherent biological/psychological differences don't cause men to tend toward the former and women the latter, if we're looking on a broad, statistical scale. I'm asking if there's anything about those traits that requires you to identify them as being the "ideal man/woman" instead of just saying they're good traits and leaving gender out of the evaluation process entirely.

It is beneficial but that doesn't necessarily make it masculine/feminine but I'm not saying it's a bad thing for a man to have some femininity in him or a woman to have some masculinity in her.

One day you wake up and think "fuck, am I old?" and that's how you know you are an adult

adjl posted...

Can you name a single trait that you consider "masculine" that is not equally beneficial for women to have? What about one that you consider "feminine?"

Are there differences? Sure. Do those differences have anything to do with what constitutes good or harmful behaviour? Not so much, which makes using gender as a proxy for those virtues/sins completely pointless.

Generally it breaks down to men being strong protectors and women being comforters/care takers but both rely more on being a good person then anything else. What makes a good man and good woman are mostly the same and at the end of the day if you are a good person you shouldn't worry about how masculine or feminine you are. You want to be a masculine man? Then be like Aragorn, not some meat head bully. If not that's fine, a truly masculine man won't be a dick to you because you are a man with more feminine energy.

It is healthy for most men to want to be masculine, and we can encourage that without saying you have to be. The same can be said about most women and feminity. It's the natural inclination but that doesn't mean it's bad for a man to be feminine or a woman to be masculine. What's not ok is having a lack of both and just being a bully. "Toxic masculinity" is just a man lacking any masculinity or femininity.

Here, let's try a little experiment:

Did anything actually change about the core meaning of your post for having removed all references to masculinity? What does that tell you about your decision to reference masculinity?

Men and women are inherently different, and have had different roles in all societies because of biological and psychological differences, and that's fine. What makes a good man and a good woman are 2 different things even if there is a lot of overlap that mostly boils down to "don't be a dick to people".

I know you are smart enough to realize the biological and psychological differences while also knowing they are equal.

LonelyStoner posted...

You reinforced gender stereotypes in the same breath that you attempted to take them down.

What are you even talking about? People get so lost about what's masculine and what's feminine they can't see the forest for the trees. As a man you should try and be the best man you can be, which is doing the best you can to live like the heroes we hold up. Be honest, be a good person, stand up for the little guy, be a hard worker, etc. Things like liking fruity drinks, being gay, liking fashion, liking dolls, etc. don't make you less manly. Being a bully, a conman, a coward, etc. is what makes you less of a man.

I dont know how much time you spent on the Middle East but I met plenty of good people while I was there

but this isnt the first time youve said xenophobic shit like this, so it shouldnt be surprising.

I was talking more about the perception of the middle east in the west which I went on to clarify in post 7, I don't think any group of people is 100% good or bad. There's good and bad people in every group, including Muslims.

You can be a man and like girly thing, you can even be a manly man and like girly things, there's nothing wrong with that.

LonelyStoner posted...

You sound like every average straight man in America who is experiencing the decline of toxic masculinity and finally comfortable with saying pedicures make them feel good.

"Toxic masculinity" is just the lack of masculinity. Being a man is about being brave, strong, honest and protective, look at the heroes we hold up as examples of real men, like Aragorn, Luke Skywalker and Superman, they are symbols of what a real man is. I was told growing up that a real man is a man of his word, works hard, is responsible, protects his loved ones and the people that can't protect themselves, etc. I was never told I have to like monster trucks and beer or I'm not a real man.

BlackScythe0 posted...

Well that is a psychopathic statement.

There's a stigma against Muslims in the west, you can't tell me there isn't and that it hasn't lead to people not caring about them getting killed. Is it right? Of course not but that's how it is. If they were bombing the west do you think it would be the same response? No, they would actually care then.

The first chicken didn't come from a chicken egg, it came from a protochicken egg. Therefore the chicken came first.

There's no good guys in the middle east so no one cares about the bad things they're doing

It made me irrationally angry and I don't even have a problem with regular coleslaw

Remember in 2016 when everyone was afraid of clowns? What's next? Being afraid of giant spiders? IT really fucked people up

What game are you trying to play?

Punch the politicians

Man, living at home is such a drag

Have you tried toxic waste? They were probably the most sour candy I've tried, more than warheads (I think they are the company that makes them)

Who doesn't lock the door when they are in the bathroom?

Beto O'rourke, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham, etc. most politicians honestly

I would walk out of the interview if they said that to me, you know it's minimum wage if they say that

He's just a generic action star so no

I mean yeah, for every case of a poor person being poor because of bad decisions/rich person being rich because of good decisions there is like 100,000 cases of the opposite.

The Beatles...I can see not loving them, but I can't really seeing hating them...unless you enjoy hating popular things as you said.

Early Beatles kinda sucked, but I'm not sure how you can hate on Sgt. Peppers or their other late albums

Also, TC, do you hate all popular things on principle or do got just happen to hate most popular things?

So of it's some of both it makes me wonder if we have predispositions for things that don't exist anymore or have yet to exist. Like I'm sure most people have felt a longing/emptiness for seemingly nothing specific at times, could that be a natural craving for something unknown but naturally a part of you? Were there natural marval fans, or rap fans or reality TV fans back in 1500s but never got experience that part of themselves?

Like for example, are horror movie fans naturally horror movie fans that would always become horror fans because it's part of them or was it because of circumstance or how they were raised?

Ask it a logical fallacy since those seem to make computers/robots explode

Muscles being a Musk simp isn't surprising given his constant defense of Trump.

I have called musk and Trump trash plenty of times, I voted against Trump both times and will again in 24. Both are out of touch rich assholes. I'm not sure why you think I'm simping for either of them.

Well they are the chosen people being killed by a charismatic racist tyrant that tries to take over the entire world/galaxy

They were space nazis, George had a lot of inspiration from WWII

People have been victims of their own hubris since before written history, some of them even got turned into myth

Musk is shit, don't get me wrong, I just think bezos is worse given his wider reach, they both treat their employees like shit but I'm sure Amazon has more employees so yeah, let's not forget how many small businesses they ruined too.
